About the Marmaris Race Week Regatta
One of the largest regattas in Europe, it has been held in Turkey since 1989. Both professionals and amateurs from all over Europe come to test their skills. Typically, the number of boats ranges from 100 to 150.
Venue:
The traditional venue is Marmaris, a bay located in southern Turkey. It is protected on all sides by large cliffs, protecting it from strong winds and creating a warm climate. The average water temperature at this time of year is 20 degrees Celsius. Pine forests and wild beaches make the area attractive to tourists. Thousands of people flock here every year at the end of October.

What's our ride Feeling 39
The Feeling 39 is a cruiser that sails like a dinghy but has the capacity of a catamaran.
Designed by speedboat guru Philippe Briand, this 39-foot yacht challenges its peers: it's sharper and faster upwind, earning it the nickname "the bloated dinghy" from Western journalists. But the biggest surprise is inside: with a draft of just 70 cm (keel up) and a huge hull volume, the Feeling 39 combines the dynamics of a racing dinghy with the spaciousness and stability of a catamaran. The company dubbed this hybrid a "monomaran"—an idea for those who don't want to choose between speed, comfort, and shallow water.
